Congratulations Owl

Good morning! Just stopping by to share a card with you that I made this past weekend for a family baby shower using Unity Stamps and a sentiment from Altenew:


I started off by stamping the owl from Unity Stamp's Going to be OWL-Right on watercolor paper. I watercolored the owl, and added a circle of watercolor around him. Once that all dried, I masked off the owl, and used Simon Says Stamp Falling Stars Stencil and embossing paste to add the star background. I added my sentiment from Altenew's Baby Zoo stamp set - using SSS ink. I also added a dot of black Ranger Enamel Accents to the eyes - just to make them pop a bit extra, then attached the sentiment using Tim Holtz's Tiny Attacher, and machine stitched the panel to my card front.


I also got a little extra creative - I didn't have a great gift bag on hand, so I used an exacto knife to slit a hole in the front of a simple kraft gift bag and slipped my card into it. No need for an envelope - and it decorated the bag as well!


Here is a closer look:


Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!
